"This recipe comes from the "Pillsbury Best Cookies and Bars" cookbook and that book certainly lives up to it's name, these are *SOOOO* good and easy to make too! I have made these many times in the past they are a favorite at my house, just make certain not overbake them, they freeze excellent also :)"
